Chapter 391: Chapter 253: Filing the Case
“Lawyer Wu, how’s it going?”
Lin Chuan asked again.
Wu Zheng’s mouth twitched as he thought to himself, Thirty yuan’s consolation fee, that’s tough to earn!
But Lin Chuan was a client, so he had to bite the bullet and answer this obviously fabricated case, “Client, the case you propose is a serious infringement case, and if it involves national military secrets, then you can only hire a professional lawyer to try and lessen the sentencing.”
In his mind, he commented, even lessening it would still get you shot!
“If it’s an international case—that is, if a foreign weapons company sues me—it doesn’t involve our military secrets, what then?” Lin Chuan, seeing that Wu Zheng seemed quite professional, continued to inquire.
Um…
Lawyer Wu Zheng furrowed his eyebrows. Could this case really go on like this?
Thus, he couldn’t help but ask, “Forgive my bluntness, are you a web novel writer?”
“How did you know?” Lin Chuan chatted with him.
Sometimes, web novel writers would do these seemingly boring things.
Especially those who lock themselves in a dark room and type furiously, when facing a writer’s block, not to mention having a conversation with AI, they could even babble on to a dog for half a day.
Web novel writers have a very small circle of real-life interactions, mostly consisting of online friends.
For example: editors, colleagues, readers.
“You really are a novel writer, huh?” Wu Zheng hadn’t expected his casual inquiry to be accurate!
Undoubtedly, the writer across from him was stuck in his writing and, with nothing better to do, had spent thirty yuan for an online chat.
Well, then this legal consultation could be easily resolved.
“Writing novels is my main job, sometimes I do some side jobs,” Lin Chuan smiled and replied.
Wu Zheng also relaxed, his attitude lightened, “Understood, the current environment isn’t great, solely writing novels doesn’t earn much, doing some side jobs is a good idea!”
Lin Chuan’s hands were fast, his keyboard clacking loudly, “That’s true, but the side jobs bring more trouble.”
“Hope your novel sells big!”
Wu Zheng offered his good wishes, then returned to the case itself, “Getting back to the point, if it’s an overseas weapons research company suing you, there are several scenarios to consider.”
“Please enlighten me!”
There are specialties in every field, Lin Chuan humbly said.
“I need to ask a few more questions. Which country’s court did the plaintiff file the lawsuit in?” Wu Zheng asked.
“Over here,” Lin Chuan replied.
“In this hypothetical case, how did you infringe the plaintiff’s patent?”
“The plaintiff claims I infringed, but I’m not aware of the details.”
